Victims of a recent shooting at the Ho Central Mosque have appealed to President John Mahama and other appropriate authorities to intervene.

The cited mounting medical bills, safety concerns, and fears of displacement should prompt action be taken.

The incident, which occurred between masked gunmen and some youths at the Ho Central Mosque last Friday, left 11 people, including one woman, injured and caused damage to property.

Survivors say the event has upended their lives, with some still receiving treatment and others struggling to cope with trauma and uncertainty.

Speaking to Adom News Correspondent Odehyeba Owusu Job, some of the injured recounted what transpired that day.

Some said they were considering leaving the area to protect their lives.

“We are now living in fear,” some of the residents noted.
